The ecological problem that arises from the abandonment of plastic bottles along the paths of our Dolomites, but also on high routes at much higher altitudes, is real, concrete and measurable.
The aggressive and disrespectful approach towards the Mountain and Nature is unfortunately increasingly evident and the clear demonstration are the hundreds and hundreds of plastic bottles (together with other waste) that now populate the edges of all the Dolomite paths, and also those of Selva di Cadore.
Anyone who throws a plastic bottle in the mountains has the substantial certainty of not being identified or even sanctioned.
There cannot be a widespread control in such vast areas as the Dolomites...
This has generated distorted emulative behaviors, which is why it seems natural and correct to get rid of bottles, waste, cigarette butts simply by throwing them on the edge of the path.
Yet all it would take is a small gesture of love for Nature and responsibility.
There are water bottles on the market of various capacities and materials perfect for the outdoors.
Compatible for containing hot and cold drinks and free from toxic agents.
At the Hotel Ca' del Bosco we use an excellent product for both summer and winter because:
- made of stainless steel - easy to wash and sanitize
- 950 ml capacity
- non-slip rubber cover + sturdy strap for hanging on your backpack
- double-walled thermal insulation: 12 hours of hot drinks - 24 hours for cold drinks

Help us defend the Nature of Selva di Cadore and the Dolomites.
Get yourself a water bottle that lasts forever and stop using plastic bottles forever!
